00:05example. Mark Plitcher. If the Secretary of State loves Shropshire and I'm sure he does, I hope he's

00:11not going to bulldoze over all of our greenbelt but that's another story for another day. When

00:15he talks about green jobs I'm sure he doesn't want to see our fire service deployed more and more

00:22and does she share my concern that when we have solar energy feeding into battery storage areas

00:29there's a real concern with the Shropshire fire service and across this country of fires out of

00:34control fires very difficult to control by our fire services and does he agree with me that they

00:39should be a statutory consultee on future planning applications for battery storage?

00:45This is an important issue we we need to take seriously and at the moment it is under the health

00:51and safety regime but we are consulting about what the best arrangements can be to make sure that we
